Granblue Fantasy Relink: The Kotaku Review
31.1.2024
“That seems familiar.” It’s a phrase I said to myself a dozen times or more in the first two hours of Cygames’ Granblue Fantasy Relink. When a giant monster attacked my boat during the prologue. When I realized my sidekick was a tiny, flying mascot with a high-pitched voice and room...
Suicide Squad Gives Early Access Players Play Money After Dreadful Launch
31.1.2024
It’s fair to say that Suicide Squad:Kill the Justice League’s launch isn’t going great so far. Following a brutal run of previews, and a splendidly petulant attempt to turn the narrative, the game’s few days of paid early access have been dirty with downtime. In an apparent attempt at crisis...

If you boot up Fortnite right now and start digging around through the game’s massive amount of user-created content, you’ll quickly notice a strange pattern: Many user-made maps and modes feature AI-generated artwork of large men, often shirtless, smiling, and holding food. Some of these images...
10 Years Later, The Funniest Dad Game Ever Still Rules
30.1.2024
Kratos didn’t invent dad games in God of War (2018), but he helped solidify the genre. There are a lot of challenges Kratos deals with in his first Norse outing that most dads can’t relate to–not everybody has fought an all-powerful warrior. So there is a certain charm in the more down-to-earth...
Destiny 2 Is Getting Mass Effect Outfits, And They’re A Slay
30.1.2024
I don’t play Destiny 2, but after hearing Bungie and BioWare are collaborating to bring Mass Effect cosmetics to the game, I’m more tempted to jump in than I’ve been in the decade since its release. Will wearing Liara T’Soni’s cunty lab coat in Bungie’s MMO shooter fill the Mass Effect-shaped hole...
Get Final Fantasy Creator’s Lost Masterpiece For $8 On Xbox
30.1.2024

Persona 3 Reload Finally Realizes Men And Women Can Be Friends
30.1.2024
One of my biggest complaints with the original Persona 3 was that, even if I just wanted to be friends with any of the girls in my party, the game’s social sim elements required you to enter a romantic relationship if you reached the end of their route. When this became clear to me, I stopped...

Persona 3 Reload Does Away With The Original’s Transphobia
30.1.2024
Persona 3 Reload is a mostly faithful recreation of the 2006 RPG. There are new social sim elements, new abilities, and a handful of quality-of-life changes, but by and large, it’s the same story about high schoolers killing monsters with the power of friendship. However, after playing through...
Persona 3 Reload: The Kotaku Review
30.1.2024
Persona 3 was always the best one. Persona 3 Reload, the from-the-ground-up remake of the 2006 supernatural, social sim-driven RPG, just eliminates any doubt. A complete visual overhaul, new mechanics, and new music all reinforce what made the original a stellar, poignant, and radical game for...
If Publishers Want To Charge Players For Early Access, The Servers Have To Work
29.1.2024
Last year, we saw the rise of video game publishers offering a few days of early access to big AAA games for a price.
